In an era where everyone is cultivating immortality, the system wants me to become a demon?

Chapter 257 Ancient Sword Cultivator Feng Wuya

Looking at the two messages sent by Qi Hanyue, Su Yuan rolled his eyes.

He really wanted to know how that so-called ancient sword cultivator, Feng Wuyai, had accurately picked out the most outstanding one from among dozens of new students.

He also wanted to learn so he could sell health products to these kinds of people in the future.

This is obviously a scam! How could anyone believe this?
Su Yuan immediately prepared to send a message to Qi Hanyue, telling her to come back right away.

But just then, Zhu Qingqing suddenly spoke:

“Su Yuan, wait a minute. I think I’ve heard of Feng Wuyai. He was a rather famous sword cultivator in our era.”

Su Yuan was slightly taken aback, then heard Zhu Qingqing continue:
"As far as I know, Feng Wuyai is a rogue cultivator, and an extremely righteous one among them."

"One of his most shocking deeds in the demonic path was that a demonic sect took advantage of his seclusion to break through to the Nascent Soul stage and launched a large-scale invasion of the rich cities he was protecting."

"After learning of this, Feng Wuyai decisively abandoned his half-formed Nascent Soul, forcibly emerged from seclusion, and wiped out the entire demonic sect to protect the region."

"But because he forced his way out of the pass, his injuries became severe and difficult to heal. He went into hiding in the mountains alone and was never heard from again."

“Even on the eve of the Immortal Tribulation, no one had received his inheritance.”

"Perhaps, this Feng Wuyai is the Feng Wuyai I remember."

After hearing this introduction, Su Yuan couldn't help but feel a slight respect for this ancient sword cultivator, but he immediately shook his head and said:

"The Feng Wuyai in the world of Peerless Sword is most likely just using a name."

"Otherwise, how could Qi Hanyue have encountered danger on this trip? Let's stop this silly girl first and then make a more careful plan."

With that, Su Yuan, too lazy to contact the other party again, directly slapped the blood sacrifice array beneath his feet.

The remains of the sword slaves at the center of the formation immediately became increasingly shriveled at a visible speed, as if they had lost all moisture.

The blood sacrifice array pattern suddenly shone brightly, and the next second, the pink-haired girl's figure abruptly appeared in the center of the array, collapsing onto a pile of withered bones.

Qi Hanyue rubbed her sore bottom, turned to look at Su Yuan, and looked at him with a puzzled expression:

"Su Yuan, what are you doing? I'm almost at Wanlong Mountain!"

Su Yuan said expressionlessly:
"If I hadn't summoned you, no one would have known you'd been taken advantage of by that conman."

Qi Hanya exclaimed in surprise:

"What! Feng Wuyai was a fraud all along?!"

What are you so surprised about, lady? Do I really need to explain the principles behind such a simple scam?

Su Yuan shook his head wearily, said nothing, and directly reported the news about the Wanlong Mountain tomb and Feng Wuyai to Instructor Zhao.

Instructor Zhao immediately responded.

Zhao Zhiyuan: I noticed something was wrong when Qi Hanyue's surveillance footage was interrupted. Now I have arrived at the place where she was slacking off.

Zhao Zhiyuan: This so-called message from the ancient sword cultivator Feng Wuyai may be related to the legacy left by the Sword Demon. Unexpected situations are also part of military training, so you can go and investigate it if appropriate.

Zhao Zhiyuan: If a power above the Foundation Establishment level truly appears, I will immediately take action to suppress it.

After reading these replies, Su Yuan stroked his chin.

Is it the legacy of the Sword Demon?

This makes more sense; indeed, great misfortune can also be auspicious in a certain sense.

After much deliberation, Su Yuan finally decided to explore Wanlong Mountain, but he needed to make some preparations beforehand.

For example, recruit more sword slaves as vanguards.

Having made up his mind, Su Yuan pulled Qi Hanyue along and headed towards Chi Le'an's team.

The latter situation was indeed extremely unfortunate—they had stumbled upon a den of sword slaves.

In a dilapidated fortress, they encountered thousands of sword slaves, including three leaders who were at the Foundation Establishment stage.

Meanwhile, these sword slaves, faced with the arrival of Chi Le'an and his group, did not take the initiative to attack, but instead remained stubbornly entrenched in their fortified village.

This is enough to show that these sword slaves are guarding an extremely precious sword-making tradition.

Therefore, when Su Yuan and Qi Hanyue arrived, Chi Le'an was leading his team in a difficult battle against the thousands of sword slaves.

Or, to be more precise, only Chi Le'an suffered, as he single-handedly fought against a thousand sword slaves and still appeared calm and composed.

After watching the excitement for a while, Su Yuan immediately followed Chi Le'an, picking up the spoils, just like an ordinary passerby.

The sword slaves were defeated one by one by Chi Le'an, and then subdued one by one by Su Yuan using his own demonic energy. The two of them worked together and in less than an hour, they had subdued all the thousand sword slaves, including the three sword slaves who were barely at the early stage of Foundation Establishment.

The sword tradition guarded by the sword slaves was indeed a superior sword manual, preserved by the people of the Evil Extermination Academy.

It's just a pity that it's purely righteous swordsmanship.

Su Yuan leaned over and took a few glances, and then felt as if he had been burned by the power of righteousness.

He decisively took a picture of the sword manual and threw it into an album to gather dust.

As expected, the legacy of the Sword Demon suits him better.

Su Yuan secretly cast the "Fate-Strengthening" effect on Chi Le'an to ensure that he could also obtain a very auspicious fate the next day. Then, he led the thousand-strong army he had recruited and took Qi Hanya towards Wanlong Mountain.

Beside the feng shui eye of Wanlong Mountain, Instructor Zhao stood as immovable as an iron tower.

Seeing Su Yuan arrive with his army, the Golden Core cultivator's eye twitched slightly before he slowly spoke:

"After I arrived here, I did not find any tombs or clues about the lineage."

"Perhaps only those who are recognized by the tradition can open the tomb passage."

Su Yuan used his Demon-Revealing Eye to examine the feng shui of the place, but he couldn't find even a trace of demonic energy.

He then turned to look at Qi Hanyue.

That's why he always kept the pink-haired girl by his side.

She was the easiest to fool in the entire military training team. Sword cultivator Feng Wuyai only trusted this girl; no one else could be fooled.

"Actually, I think that Senior Feng Wuyai is a good person. What he said to me was quite sincere."

"Su Yuan, and Instructor Zhao, you can't just jump to conclusions without even seeing the person."

Qi Hanyue said weakly.

Su Yuan spoke in a tone that conveyed concern for children with intellectual disabilities:

"You're right, but I'm just worried about your safety."

"Go and investigate the feng shui spot and find out if that guy named Feng Wuyai is fooled... cough cough, please come out, Instructor Zhao and I will have a friendly chat with him."

"Even if you are trapped, don't be afraid. I can draw a blood sacrifice array to rescue you at any time."

As he spoke, Su Yuan immediately found a flat spot and began drawing the Holy Church's Blood Sacrifice Array again.

Qi Hanyue pouted, somewhat dissatisfied with Su Yuan's obviously perfunctory words.

She secretly made up her mind that she must clear Feng Wuyai's name and herself, and give Su Yuan, the leader of the Demonic Sect, a good slap in the face!
With that thought in mind, the girl quickly walked into the area where the feng shui eye of Wanlong Mountain was located.

The next second, a faint blue light flashed, and then a weak and aged voice rang out:

"You are indeed here."

"It was worth waiting for so many years, and I sent you this message with my last bit of strength."

“Listen to me, all those who are with you are demons, only you are the most innocent and pure.”

The pink-haired girl scratched her head sheepishly and said:

"You flatter me, senior. I'm not that kind."

Su Yuan and Instructor Zhao, who were not far away, immediately understood what was going on when they heard this conversation.

It seems that Feng Wuyai had exhausted all his strength carving words on the stone, and he was no longer able to monitor Qi Hanyya's subsequent interactions with Su Yuan, Instructor Zhao, and others.

Fortunately, otherwise Feng Wuyai might not have shown up.

Just then, Feng Wuyai asked with a hint of wariness:

"By the way, have you told anyone about what happened between us?"

"Especially that Su Yuan, in my opinion, he is the most evil of all the demons, ten times more evil than the demon who tricked me out of my inheritance!"

"Even if you accidentally leaked the information, you must never tell this person!"

Qi Hanyue's silly smile froze instantly, and her eyes darted around:

"I... I don't think so..."
